plot {DOVE}

Plot Estimated Vaccine Efficacy

Description

Generates plots of the estimated vaccine efficacy in reducing attack rate, the estimated vaccine efficacy in reducing the hazard rate, and their 95% confidence intervals.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'DOVE'
plot(x, y, ..., bandwidth = NULL)

Arguments

x

An DOVE object. The value object returned by dove() and dove2().

y

ignored.

...

ignored

bandwidth

A numeric vector object. A tuning parameter for the bandwidth used for kernel estimation of the vaccine efficacy in reducing the hazard rate for objects returned by dove(). This input is ignored for objects returned by dove2().

Value

No return value, called to produce graphical elements.

Examples

data(doveData)

set.seed(1234)

smp <- sample(1:nrow(x = doveData), 500, FALSE)

# NOTE: This sample size is chosen for example only -- larger data sets
# should be used.
# See the vignette for a full dove() analysis of the doveData dataset

result <- dove(formula = Surv(event.time, event.status) ~ priority + sex + 
                         vaccine(entry.time, vaccine.status, vaccine.time),
               data = doveData[smp,])

plot(x = result, bandwidth = c(0.5,1.0))

set.seed(1234)
smp <- sample(1L:nrow(x = doveData), size = 2500L)

# NOTE: This sample size is chosen for example only -- larger data sets
# should be used.
# See the vignette for a full dove2() analysis of the doveData dataset

# Fit the model with default settings
result <- dove2(formula = Surv(event.time, event.status) ~ priority + sex + 
                          vaccine(entry.time, vaccine.status, vaccine.time), 
                data = doveData[smp,])

plot(x = result)
